Multitasking

According to ("Cambridge Dictionary", 2018): Multitasking is  "a person's ability to do more than one thing at a time".

In these times millions of people have been in need of becoming multitasking because they do not have enough time to fulfill them all as well as possible, so they prefer to do everything at the same time, but what they do not know is that doing so many tasks at the time can generate consequences towards the human body, harming the health

Consequenses:

•  Multitasking can lead to memory problems.

•  Multitasking can lead to increased distractibility.

•  Multitasking can make us walk into traffic.

Top 7 - Types of couples

1. The Alpha Couple. This is the couple that is constantly crushing it. They both have jobs that require at least eight years of graduate studies. There's nothing wrong with them and they're perfectly fine people, but hearing about their life makes you feel bad.

2. The Couple That Does Everything First. First to get engaged. First to marry. First to pop out a kid. It's like they're winning a race against no one, frantically trying to "do all the grownup stuff".

3. The Crazy-in-Love Couple. This couple is your entire social network feed. They love each other but they're more concerned with telling everyone else than they are each other. They use "bae" unironically. You've probably unfollowed them by now.

4. The Why-Are-You-Still-Together? Couple. This is the couple that must have mind-blowing sex because you can't figure out whey else they'd still be together. They argue and "break up" and blast each other online constantly. You've had to console them at least twice after breakups, only for them to get back together a week later. They both look sad whenever you see them.

5. The Ghost Couple. They started dating and now they're gone. Just gone. You've verified they're still alive, as they sporadically update their Facebook photos, but they will never hang out with you again.

6. The Long-Distance Couple. One of them lives nearby, so you feel bad not inviting them to couple's events, and then feel bad when they're essentially a perpetual third wheel anyway.

7. The Way-Too-Chill Couple. You wouldn't even know it if they broke up. They barely hang out together. They go out alone, they don't even spend holidays together. It works for them, apparently, but you're pretty sure they go months without speaking.

Signs of a good relationship

Maintaining a relationship in a good way is a complicated task, because if only one member of the couple is concerned to bring good communion, trust, love and others, the problems will occur and this will lead to end the relationship.

A relationship is on the right track, when both are completely in love with each other, when both know the virtues and defects between each other, when there is communication, when they try to extend their love beyond what is allowed. A good romance is one that despite everything bad and good fight to be together and be the support of each other.

Source: (ShortStatusQuotes, 2018)

To know if you follow a good relationship with your partner, (Husain, I. 2018) adds the following signs:

• You spend time apart, doing things you enjoy: 

When you're in the right relationship, your partner understands that there are things you want to do alone. We all need time to do our own things, and the right relationship is one in which both understand and appreciate that about each other.

• You maintain self-identity:

You celebrate being you. Your partner does the same. And you appreciate each other more for maintaining your self-identity. In the right relationship both are nurtured to continuously improve and develop their “self.”

Both tips are good to be able to continue with your partner without any problem in the future. First love yourself so you can love someone else.

Problems in a Perfect Couple

Relationship problem: communication

According to Elaine Fantle Shimberg, author of Blending Families, all relationship problems are due to poor communication. "You can not communicate while you're checking your cell phone, watching TV or flipping through the sports section," he says. (Sorgen, s.f.)

The lack of communication can cause serious problems in relationships, because if they do not communicate, they do not know the things that bother them, or what they would like the other to do.

                                                         

                                                                         (Mattia, 2017)

Problem solving strategies:

Make a real appointment between them, says Shimberg. If you live together, put the cell phones on vibration, put the children to bed and let the voicemail pick up your calls. If you can not "communicate" without raising your voice, go to a public place like the library, the park or the restaurant, where you would be ashamed if someone saw you scream. Set some rules Try not to interrupt until your partner is talking, or ban phrases like "Always ..." or "Never ...". Use body language to show that you are listening. Do not scribble, look at your watch or cut your nails. Not for the other person to know that you are receiving the message, and reformulate if necessary. For example, say: "What I hear you say is that you feel you have more homework, even though we both work." If you're right, the other can confirm. If what the other person really meant was: "Hey, you're a slob and you create more work for me by having to pick up after you", you can say, but in a more pleasant way. Relationship problem: communication (Sorgen, s.f.)

As you can see we know that there will always be one way or another to solve problems, if they do not reach a solution, this means that this relationship does not allow for more, and this affects a lot if the couple has already formed a family.

Perfect couple

On the society exist some stereotypes about how it has to be your perfect couple, but in a way of conclusion, a perfecto couple does not exist, in all the couple always are going to be some trouble but there is the difference, the perfect couple, Knows how give a way that a continue in the relationship, the rule #1 always have to be the confidence, this is one of the most important part in every relationship, the couple alway has to have confidence no matter what the people say, you have to trust  on the person that you love.
Rules #2 Be honest: this is a harmful rule, no because it always have to say the true, no it is because in some cases be honest is a way in which one you can make no trouble, but is better say a difficult true than a beautiful lie.

This are the most important rules that you have to follow if you want to have the best honest and confidence relationships ever

Perfect couple:

Now days most people in the world are anxious to find their perfect partner. They are stressed because they do not have a great company or as many call them their "soul mate" or also their beloved "half orange", they fear to spend the rest of their lives alone, sad and abandoned for not finding the right person.

On many occasions we risk traveling to places unknown to ourselves, to achieve an unparalleled adventure as in many Hollywood movies.

What is the idealization that society has established about the perfect couple through time?

The perfect couple is the result of the years of hard work and continual efforts to make your relationship stronger. And, eventually and the most importantly, perfect couples remind each other how much they care about each other.

Although, this could be every day.

San Valentine's Day in USA.

(Abreu, 2016)             https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPnrqYYUzkP4HzrAKKn2TMXS_3u-6SlzIjeMp6OcfZGoDOZ6Slq5_aoRXt78gyZFCLAxYUbTur4docwBFkrm2xG5BOTpNXpb_cjHN9p9ksVUqEdhcVsMbsi0sgcboMWS0QPSnvUeGCuk/s400/postales.jpg

There are really many theories about how this date came about, but the important thing is that this custom was spreading throughout Europe and later to the United States. Thus, in the nineteenth century in Britain appeared the habit of sending romantic heart-shaped postcards to lovers, with romantic drawings. They were sold generically in stores and they were very popular. In fact, one of the people responsible for the popularization of this party in the United States was the artist and businesswoman Esther Allen Howland, who after her business was very successful in Great Britain was in charge of exporting massive amounts of romantic cards to America. North. From there, this practice was popularized and still continues to be maintained. (Lorenzo, 2017)

Although its origin was in another continent, this date or celebration came to America to stay, since most Americans celebrate it every year. Valentine's Day has become very popular throughout the ages and especially extending to different places.

(tarotsantaolalla, 2018)       https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaUy_JQQPuzjUt_bhB08D1qhevnpQV8XPPw7vGY_QP7LZFTDiMk18Gvpgq860cAXcYvBglBA4Xh9FIz6so9xfRIkguzIrm3h99qtuxp8sAxwICJIrNNxc2h7QaV6ZB0mF_ZpmiMC7OLPIp/s320/symbol-2424780_960_720.png  

February 14 is not a holiday, however, Americans are very excited to celebrate. Therefore, it is the official day of love in this great country. If you go out to the street you will see that almost all businesses are decorated with romantic motifs and offer discounts and irresistible offers: clothing stores, perfumeries, travel agencies, cafes, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. (Lorenzo, 2017)

This date became commercial, the sellers did not waste time and as soon as they saw that people needed to give gifts to their loved ones, and in that way make them feel special and that they mean a lot to them.

The gifts: In its origins, it was frequent that only men gave gifts to those in love, but as society has evolved they have also changed gender roles now both men and women can show their love in the way they think is appropriate. Finally, couples who live at a distance often send postcards by mail or give gifts by mail, living far away is no longer an excuse. (Lorenzo, 2017)

The famous gift of Valentine's Day has been the famous love letters, in which each of the people expresses their feelings towards others and makes them know the things they think and feel for them.

The society has been evolving and gender equality has been immersed in this celebration, since in the past it was mandatory for men to give the gift to their girlfriend, but nowadays the woman can also take the initiative to give the gift to her boyfriend. Also, sexual orientation has been immersed in this celebration too, as USA is the country of freedom, the LGBTIQ+ community celebrates San Valentine's Day.

"While Valentine's Day is celebrated in most countries, different cultures have developed their own traditions for this festival." (Roses Only, 2018)

Valentine´s Day in Ecuador

Valentine's Day is a traditional celebration of Anglo-Saxon countries that has been implanted in other countries throughout the twentieth century mainly in which couples in love express their love and affection to each other. It is celebrated on February 14, the Valentine's Day. In some countries it is known as Valentine's Day and in others as the day of love and friendship. In Anglo-America around 1840, Esther A. Howland began selling the first massive Valentine postcards, known as "valentines," with symbols such as the heart shape or Cupid. Also on this day is common the tradition of giving roses to those people who have a special affection. There are several theories that give this date the origin of Valentine's Day. In the Nordic countries it is during these dates when birds are paired and mated, hence this period is seen as a symbol of love and creation. (golonmead, s.f.)

"The day of love and friendship" as we know it here in Ecuador. It has become a very commercial day, since the goal of this should be to celebrate as the name says "Love and Friendship" but instead, people use it as an excuse to ask for a gift or some present for them .

For couples in love this day would be another pretext to be able to see and enjoy their company.

Personally I can say that it is very nice to celebrate somehow this day with the people you love most and I have done it, especially with my family and my true friends.

In other countries the essential thing would be especially in schools, the typical letters of friendship that each of the students should receive and in the same way the teachers, since it is a celebration of where a friendship should have grown.

MAIN CAUSES OF TRUANCY

As we know, truancy is the action of the students to stay in another place instead of home without any justification. So, there are some many reasons for becoming a truant.

Acording to The Alameda County Disctrict Attorney's Office:

• Homelessness: In over 20% of the cases, truant children were homeless.
• Bullying: In 13% of cases, bullying was a contributing factor.
• Home Environment: Family dysfunction was identified in 26% of cases. 
• Physical Health Issues: Those impacted students in 36% of cases.
• Mental Health Issues: Those were as frequent as physical health issues.
• Finance: In 26% of cases, the financial issues played a role in truancy.
• Ineffective Parenting: The lack of rigth parent skills were noted in 45% of cases.
• Transportation: 30% of children were truant because they lacked transportation.

In fact, those truant people constantly are affected by some many causes. Also, the vulnerable minority of teenagers with specific unnormal aspects and qualities are the most affected in the society. 

The proffessors Iñaki Piñuel Zabala y Araceli Oñate have describe almost 9 labels of bullying with the following indicence among the victims.

• Social block 29%
• Harassment 21%
• Manipulation 20%
• Constraints 17%
• Social Exclusion 16%
• Intimidation 14%
• Cyberbullying

Another fact is that the teenagers who belong to the lgbtiq+ community suffer discrimination and those kind of bullying, so they are affected to commit truancy.

In Latinamerica, Colombia portrays a report which shows how lgbtiq+ students face those issues in educative centers. The 67% said feeling insecure, consequently 1 of 4 students skip class because they are afraid.

Finally, as you can read, truancy is a big problem around the world, it's a consequence of another unsolve issues which continue affecting the society yet. Get informaton! Learn by yoursefl! Be more human! Stop truancy!

Truancy rate at record high

Around 10m school days missed without permission by 6m pupils

(deviant art, 2017)

The school truancy rate is at record high and has shot up by 44% since Labor came to power, government statistics revealed today.

The rise is despite ministers taking a tougher line on absenteeism, prosecuting 9,500 parents and fining thousands more because of their children regularly skip school.

Some 67,290 pupils skipped school without permission every day in 2008-9, almost 2,000 more than the previous year, the Department for Children, Schools and Families show figures.

Around 10 million school days were missed without permission by 6 million pupils in primary and secondary schools in England. The DCSF calculates absence rates by the number of half days missed. Pupils missed 1.05% of half-days at primary and secondary schools without permission, compared to 1.01% the previous year. This is a 44% rise on 1996-97, when the rate was 0.73%, which means truancy is now at its highest level since records were first collected in 1993.

The total authorised absence rate – where pupils have permission to miss school – fell to its lowest level recorded with children in all schools missing 5.21% of half-days in 2008-09, down from 5.28% in the previous year.

Family holidays were the second most common reason for pupils missing school, after illness.

Over two terms, absence for family holidays accounted for 8% of half-days that were missed, but authorised by schools. Nearly 2% of half-days missed for family holidays were not approved by schools.

David Laws, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, branded the truancy figures "a disgrace" for Labour and said they showed the government's top-down approach to the problem had failed.

Laws said: "Despite Tony Blair promising to get a grip on this problem more than a decade ago, truancy levels have rocketed. It's obvious that Labour's top-down approach has failed. We need a more effective local approach involving parents, schools and the police.(Shepherd, 2012)

It's importante for a child and teenagers to study and prepare for the whole world and the principal to have a powerful knowledge that will become the next generation, but nowadays the teenagers don't think in the  future they just think to have a chilling moment with ztheir friends, and don't go to school.

Wealth management(2018)

Childreen and teengares can "Chilling" their time spending in sports that will be entertained and the best is a healthy way for the body because this eliminate toxin,both in which you can obtain rewards as medal, trophies or if you put all the effort in sports you will get an scholarship  for the university, but all this rewards is because of study, things that a truant can't obtain

Business politics(2017)

Another option for a solution of truancy is that the high school or school has more control in the students behavior or the way that they coexist is and option, because most of the teenager becomes a truant for the bullying that they suffer in school, making that the teenager or the children, has afraid of the dangerous to be in school, not only with physical violence, nowadays the issue is the mental behavior that the student would have
